The music of small forms and of chamber-music instrumentations was to become the focus of the French composer Gabriel Faure (1845-1924). In 1874 after many years spent in the 'provinces' the teacher of Camille Saint-Saens took the position of organist in Paris; later he not only worked as a church musician but also as a teacher. In the summer of 1887 Faure wrote his Pavane opus 50 originally intended for a concert providing light entertainment which soon gained wide popularity as an orchestral setting without and with the chorus added by Faur. The romantic slightly melancholy melody is a catchy tune which thanks to the present arrangement can now also be performed soloistically with piano accompaniment.
